The Sister of Condemnation Advances, a Gift from the Higher-Ups!
Then, somewhat excitedly, she said, "Shen Xing, you're famous now."
"Overnight, he became a national hero."
"National hero?" Shen Xing asked, puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"You can tell by looking at your phone," Xu Jiayi replied.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xing quickly took his phone out of his pocket.
Upon opening the lock screen, numerous official news articles popped up, each bearing my name.
[Good news! Shen Xing of Heavenly Star Nation has powerfully ascended to the top of the Two Worlds Leaderboard, bringing glory to the nation!]
[Number One in Both Realms! The Most Outstanding Genius in the Heavenly Star Nation!]
[He racked up tens of millions of points in one night; he's the hope of our Blue Star!]
Looking at these increasingly outrageous headlines, Shen Xing's lips twitched slightly.
"Damn it, these media outlets are outrageous. How did I become the hope of Blue Star?"
"That's not all!" Xu Jiayi exclaimed excitedly, "Right now, the hottest news on TV, major websites, and video platforms is all about you taking first place."
"My parents just called to ask if this Shen Xing is my former classmate."
"You're a household name now."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xing did not show the expected excitement, but instead frowned slightly.
This matter seems somewhat unusual.
After all, under normal circumstances, these media outlets would not report on the same event at the same time, and all of them would have such exaggerated headlines, as if they had planned it together.
This suggests that there may be someone behind this instigating it.
In other words, is someone in Heavenly Star Nation deliberately creating momentum for themselves?
He pondered for a moment, then shook his head, clearing his mind.
After all, no matter what, it won't affect me.
It's also possible that Heavenly Star's top management wanted to use their achievement of taking the top spot on the leaderboard to promote themselves and boost national morale.
Next, he logged into Green Bubble to deal with other messages.
At a glance, it was clear that the number of unread messages in the two discussion groups had reached 99+.
I clicked into their discussion group and scrolled through the chat history. Most of the messages were from Qin Lang, Yu Feifei, and others.
While discussing Shen Xing's incredible achievement, they sent various exaggerated emojis expressing shock and dread.
They also posted links to various popular posts and videos, providing real-time updates on the number of likes, just like a war correspondent.
Xia Wanyin also participated in the discussion, sending several voice messages.
At this moment, as if sensing that Shen Xing had logged off, Qin Lang tagged her in the discussion group.
"Spark, has the number one player in the entire server logged off yet? Hey pro, come out and say something! Don't distance yourselves from us newbies!"
Xia Wanyin chimed in, "Boss Shen Xing, please take this humble woman with you. Let me cling to your leg (#pitiful)."
Shen Xing looked at the two messages and said speechlessly, "I was busy just now, and I only have time to log off now."
"Haha, the number one in the entire server has finally appeared!" Qin Lang exclaimed excitedly upon seeing the message, "The whole internet is looking for you now, hoping you'll say a few words."
"By the way, share with the guys how you did it!"
"Fourteen million points in one night! That's outrageous!"
"Everyone's guessing you've found some special method to boost your scores, which is why you're so fast."
Yu Feifei, Xia Wanyin, and others were also very curious about this question.
Although Xia Wanyin's territory was nearby, she only heard noises coming from this area last night, as well as various sounds from the mist, but she didn't know how he did it.
"It's simple, just charge straight into the blood mist and slaughter everyone," Shen Xing replied honestly.
Everyone: "..."
Chapter 276: The Sister of Condemnation Advances to the Next Level, a Gift from the Higher-ups!
"It's simple, just charge straight into the blood mist and slaughter everyone."
Faced with everyone's questions, Shen Xing honestly replied in the discussion group.
"Damn! If we could get in, we would have started fighting already." Qin Lang sent a speechless emoji. "The problem is we don't even dare to touch this blood mist."
Yu Feifei chimed in, "Yes, the power of that blood mist is terrifying."
"If you make contact with Common fog and return to the fire's vicinity in time, there is still hope for rescue."
"But this blood mist is almost certainly fatal if you touch it."
Shen Xing knew they would say that, and laughed, "That's why you can't imitate my method."
"Because I have a special method that allows me to pass safely through the blood mist."
Upon hearing this, everyone sent an "I see" emoji.
They didn't press further, since Shen Xing had already said he couldn't imitate it.
Given their relationship, if this person had mastered this method, and if others could use it, they would have shared it long ago.
At this moment, Shen Xing seemed to remember something and continued.
"By the way, don't you all have a few level 10 lanterns?"
Even if its effect and duration are suppressed to only 1%, it can still illuminate for three minutes and dispel the blood mist within a radius of two to three meters.
"You can try entering the blood mist during the day, then find an area with the most monsters and unleash area-of-effect attacks; you might be pleasantly surprised."
This was something he had just thought of, since the monsters in the blood mist were endless, and at the Tier Three tier, the attack range of the troops was very large.
Although you can't see what's happening inside the blood mist, you can still take down a lot of monsters by launching a carpet bombing attack on the surrounding area.
At this moment, Qin Lang said, "This method has already been tried, and it simply won't work."
"Randomly attacking in the blood mist will attract some particularly powerful and bizarre monsters."
"Some lords suffered annihilation because they charged into the fog during the day and killed a large number of monsters."
"A very strange monster appeared near his territory; it was impossible to stop it, and it was wiped out in no time."
Even venturing deep into the mist won't work.
"Because the farther you are from the territory, the more severely the lantern's effect will be suppressed."
"Later on, the fire would go out as soon as it was lit, making it completely impossible to move."
After listening, Shen Xing was slightly surprised for a moment, then nodded in understanding.
No wonder other lords don't use this method; it turns out it's unusable.
No matter how many lanterns you prepare, you can't use them once you're deep in the blood mist, so you're destined not to be able to move around for long periods of time.
Not to mention someone like Shen Xing, who spent an entire night frantically grinding through the fog.
This also indirectly demonstrates the power of the Lotus Lantern in his hand.
It's fair to say that without the Lotus Lantern, no one else could replicate his monster-hunting strategy.
The three people in the discussion group all sent several 'regretful' and 'envious' emojis.
Xu Jiayi, standing to the side, seemed to be deep in thought, as if analyzing something.
At this moment, Qin Lang continued to send a message: "By the way, where's Jiayi? Why hasn't she come out to say anything?"
"Oh right." Xia Wanyin realized this too. "We haven't seen Jiayi come out yet. Is she still online?"
Shen Xing turned his head and saw the tall, slender girl next to him shaking her head repeatedly, signaling him not to reveal himself.
Then she opened her phone and calmly replied, "I just logged off, what do you want?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I was just asking," Qin Lang replied casually, then added, "By the way Jiayi, where did you go?"
"Your mom called this morning and said you hadn't come home all night, asking if I knew where you were."
Everyone was taken aback when they heard the question.
"Didn't come home all night?" Yu Feifei sensed something was amiss and asked, "Could someone have secretly gone to someone else's house, planning to make the first move?"
"Huh?" Xia Wanyin asked in surprise, "Who is Jiayi going to target? Don't sneak away!"
At this moment, facing the questions from the two women, the tall, slender girl's face turned bright red, and her hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
But she calmly sent a message: "Hehe, I just went out for a walk, look how worried someone is."
"I think you're the one who wants to disregard the bet and strike first, aren't you?"
Upon Yu Feifei immediately dismissed it with disdain, saying that she would never do such a thing.
The two empresses exchanged a few more barbs in the group chat, and no one pressed Xu Jiayi for details anymore, as she had managed to smooth things over.
A moment later, Shen Xing turned off his phone and looked at the woman opposite him.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you run away without telling your family?"
Xu Jiayi gave a slight shrug. "I had a couple of arguments with them, and I don't want to stay home. I'll go back in a couple of days."
Shen Xing glanced at her but didn't ask any further questions.
After all, this is someone else's family matter, and it's not appropriate for a friend to ask too many questions.
Then, he remembered something else and asked, "By the way, how did the fusion of those two Talent Crystal go yesterday? Was it successful?"
Upon hearing this question, Xu Jiayi did not speak, but slowly stood up.
Then, she gently raised her hands.
"Whoosh..."
A burst of gray mist billowed out, enveloping her slender figure.
The figures in the fog could be vaguely seen changing rapidly.
As the mist dissipated, a tall figure strode out, her leather boots clattering on the floor.
When Shen Xing saw Xu Jiayi's attire, he was completely stunned.
She wore black over-the-knee leather boots and stockings that accentuated her perfect leg shape.
She wore a black backless dress, revealing large expanses of her white skin.
His smooth back revealed distinct collarbones, upon which was reflected a blood-red cross.
As she made a grasping motion with her right hand, a huge scythe appeared out of thin air in her hand.
At that moment, her entire demeanor changed, exuding a deadly allure while also carrying a dangerous aura.
"This... is your advanced hidden class?" Shen Xing asked, looking completely bewildered.
"Yes," Xu Jiayi nodded and said, "After severing the Original Sin 'Pride,' I have advanced from Sister of Condemnation to Inquisitor of Condemnation, and my attributes have increased significantly."
